STORM-EZ Basic Operation
• Application (SWU-101, SWU-102, Renewals,
Modifications, etc).
• Design Calculations – applicable statewide with
error and warning messages to catch common
mistakes
• Supplement Forms – rolled into calculations sections
and summary tables on plan sheets
• O&M Agreements –one report per project,
generated with easy user input
• Reporting – standardized summary reports
STORM-EZ– Permit Application
• Checklists, Application, and Signature Pages
• Forms generated based on type of application
STORM-EZ – Calculations
